Vicky Yorke Designs

  I’m delighted to announce my third collection for Camelot Fabrics has launched on their website . It’s called ‘Urban Jungle’ and features cats... ...dogs... ... as well as pretty meadow flowers!  While I do like dogs, I am most definitely a cat lover and this collection was initially inspired by watching my beautiful kitty moving around our garden with the beauty and grace of her wild big cat relatives - Our garden is definitely her jungle!  Camelot Fabrics say: "Guys, it’s an urban jungle out there. But Vicky Yorke’s cheerful prints, raining cats and dogs, bring a smile to the city. After all, a house just isn’t a home without a dog (or cat). And a cat (or dog) is not happy without a quilt." In addition to my repeat prints, this collection also features my hand drawn typography across two placement half-panels, which read  'A house is not a home without a cat' / 'Beware of the garden

I’m so excited to share with you that my second fabric collection for Camelot Fabrics  has launched on their website . ‘Village Life’ is a particularly special collection for me because it’s inspired by my home in semi-rural Worcestershire, UK.  Prints include bold floral blooms from the village allotment... ... while patterns featuring hens, cockerels, pigs and runner ducks are all inspired by the farm that is a five minute walk from my home ( - I love those runner ducks so much!)  Typography patterns aim to reflect the community spirit of the village and even feature the clock at the village centre.  Camelot Fabrics say:  "Let the sun shine in! Vicky Yorke’s sophomore collection is about as charming as it gets with sunny yellow flowers, roosters, geese and pigs. The show-stopper: an edge-to-edge “I love my garden” border print." The designs are all in a super-pretty (and very on trend!) grey and yellow colourway mak

I am so excited to finally share with you some big news that I’ve been keeping secret since the summer…! My debut fabric collection, ‘From London with ❤️’ has now launched on the website of my amazing new licensing partner, Camelot Fabrics . I have dreamed of designing my own fabric collection for as long as I can remember and so to have my designs available for crafters, sewers and quilters through such an amazing fabric company as Camelot really is a dream come true! ‘From London with ❤️’ depicts popular motifs and landmarks from the UK capital city all drawn in my colourful and whimsical style.  Camelot say:  " Vicky Yorke’s debut collection is packed with charmingly British images: double decker buses, London landmarks and whimsical umbrellas. Brilliant!"   T he collection will be available in stores from July 2018, but you can a sk your local  quilt shop to place orders now. View the whole collection here . 

Some of you may know that I'm a member of the Art Licensing Show website from my previous Christmas blog post . This is a great site where artists / designers pay a fee to host their portfolios in a completely private way. (We have to be soooo careful about posting too much publicly online as things sadly do get stolen). Art directors can sign up for free and I can then connect and share my work with any company that I feel might be a good fit for my brand. I love the fact that I have complete control over who can view my work. My portfolio is obviously also hosted by my agents, Jewel Branding , but this is an excellent additional way to strike up new art licensing relationships. The above image shows my thumbnail from the site and is all images from my 'Tea Party' collection. If you haven't discovered Art Licensing Show yet you can find out more about how it works here. Another great aspect of the site is the other artist connections I've made. Everyon
